Could possibly do Mac like this, but - isn't that a lot of code for a custom cursor

What's interesting here

Cursor management on Windows and Linux is kind of similar so I'm getting away with a bunch of #ifdefs.

The code could be shorter, but for now it is what it is.

Some things are there for a reason - for example, did you know that if you do

SetCursor(cursor);
DestroyCursor(cursor);
// ... more cleanup code 
SetCursor(NULL);

there's a very small chance that the system will access the cursor in the meantime and your application will crash? Gotta unset the cursors before destroying them.
